The National Eviction Team is coming to try to evict the Stokes Croft Freeshop tomorrow. They've said they'll be there from early afternoon; support is requested on the streets from 10am.

The Freeshop/Classics/The Emporium are social squats set up in two long-abandoned buildings on Stokes Croft. The buildings were almost completely derelict. Squatters put in a lot of work over a couple of years to maintain and repair the buildings. The empty building were turned into useful space - the Freeshop where people can get things they need and get rid of things they don't need, The Emporium art gallery, a gym, workshops and living space. Now the mysterious absentee landlord - helped by estate agents Maggs and Allen - is trying to take them away.

The National Eviction Team is a company that specialises in evicting protest sites and political squats. Come down and support our spaces from 10am tomorrow, or watch Bristol indymedia for a callout when they arrive.

 


The next planned eviction of The Free Shop and Emporium is scheduled for Monday 18th July please join us for a party of resistance from 10am Monday morning!
